50+ Year Legacy, Deep Customer Relationships, and Strengthening Margins
OVERVIEW
This precision metal component manufacturer has been making parts in Michigan for over 50 years. The shop specializes in producing tight tolerance components from engineering prints across a wide catalog of part numbers for applications where quality and reliability matter most, including parts that go into Class 8 trucks and military vehicles. Customers include transportation OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, defense procurement programs, and industrial equipment makers, many of whom have worked with the business for decades. Revenue reached $3.63M in 2025 with projected 2026 revenue of $3.70M.
Competitive Edge
At the heart of the operation is a fleet of roughly 20 specialized automatic production machines. This type of equipment is capital intensive, technically demanding to operate, and increasingly hard to come by. Combined with ISO 9001:2015 certified quality systems and the know-how to manufacture from complex engineering packages, the business has built real barriers that keep competitors at a distance. Once a part is qualified and running in an OEM supply chain, customers have little reason and high costs to switch. Gross margins climbed from 17% in 2023 to 29% in 2025 thanks to the implementation of a disciplined pricing program, and adjusted EBITDA reached $564K in 2025, showing that the improvements are real and flowing through to the bottom line.
Growth & Future
The simplest growth opportunity is also the most powerful: the shop currently runs one shift. Adding a second shift would let a new owner roughly double production using the same equipment and facility, with relatively little additional investment. The optional property also has space for physical expansion and more machines. Beyond capacity, there are practical ways to grow by winning more work from existing customers, entering adjacent industries, and taking advantage of the ongoing trend of manufacturers bringing production back to the U.S. The sale is driven by retirement and succession planning. The seller is flexible on how long they stay involved and is ready to help a new owner maintain relationships and keep things running smoothly.
